This breakfast is a simple yet nutrient-dense dish. Whole-grain bread, with its sweet and grounding nature, nourishes spleen qi and provides sustained energy for the day. Avocado, considered slightly cooling and nourishing, supports yin, moistens dryness, and promotes smooth digestion while also benefiting the liver. Eggs are prized in TCM for their ability to tonify blood and yin, making them an excellent choice for building strength and supporting recovery. The chili flakes add a subtle warming quality that enhances digestion and boosts qi circulation, balancing the cooling properties of the avocado. With its combination of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, this dish is a satisfying and harmonious meal that supports digestion, stabilizes energy, and nourishes the body.
